Lyrics
When the chimp on the tree
Observing a chimpanzee on a tree
Shakes his fist at me
Chimpanzee expressing anger towards the speaker
You know I love it
Speaker enjoys the chimp's reaction
'Cause it means that much to me
The chimp's gesture is meaningful to the speaker
And my nuts knows it's not
The speaker's instincts acknowledge a challenging path
In a bid to reach the top
Striving for success but recognizing difficulties
There is no other
No alternative routes in pursuing goals
'Cause it means that much to you
The speaker values the struggle for personal goals
You'll be free to guess
Freedom to make guesses or choices
Again, you'll see
Repetition of the freedom to see and guess
And there'll be work
Anticipation of assigned tasks or duties
That they tell you to do
Tasks dictated by external sources
But if you don't care a lot
Indifference when the world aligns with personal desires
When the world just hits the spot
Feeling content when the world is favorable
You'll be out again
Expectation of returning to a challenging situation
By Christmas time next year
Timeframe for overcoming challenges
Just be sure when you're not
Being cautious when uncertain
Of the 'I' that doesn't dot
A reminder of self-awareness and identity
When you're young
Reflection on youth and simplicity
Nothings hard to pick that clean
Tasks seem easy when young and inexperienced
Feel my meaning
Invitation to feel the depth of the speaker's meaning
